Garbage with ITB's???? Not necessarily. Look at tony the tigers GSR running high 11s low 12s with ITBS and high boost. True they are hard as shit to tune, but once tuned make WONDERFUL power.

He said if i wasnt going FI (ie... no boost)
and i think that the gsr head can achieve higher compression... that the ITR head lost compression but gained it back using higher compression pistons.... i think..
